Abstract Summary

The Forschungsdatenplattform by Stadt.Geschichte.Basel provides open access to diverse historical materials relating to the city of Basel. This presentation discusses the implementation of a transition pipeline to archive all metadata and associated files with DaSCH, leveraging its infrastructure for versioned, durable, and FAIR-compliant research data publication.

Our pipeline addresses critical sustainability challenges by:

  1. Harvesting and transforming metadata from Omeka to the DaSCH data model
  2. Implementing automated deposit and update routines via the DaSCH REST API
  3. Writing back stable DaSCH identifiers for transparency and citability
  4. Preserving hierarchical relationships and media metadata

This approach decouples the archival backend from the front-end presentation, ensuring long-term data accessibility while maintaining a lightweight public interface.
